About

Step into an otherworldly landscape of ice and ash with our 3-hour Private guided glacier hike on Sólheimajökull, one of Iceland’s most accessible and striking outlet glaciers. This adventure is perfect for travelers looking for a hands-on glacier experience without the need to travel from Reykjavik—simply meet us at the glacier parking lot, and your journey begins.

After meeting your expert glacier guide on-site, you'll gear up with crampons, a helmet, harness, and ice axe. Following a short walk to the glacier’s edge, you'll step onto the ice and begin your guided hike into the frozen heart of Sólheimajökull.

As you hike across the glacier's surface, you'll encounter deep crevasses, moulins (ice holes), ridges, and dramatic ice formations. Your guide will explain how glaciers are formed, how they’re changing, and the powerful natural forces that continue to shape them. It’s a fascinating blend of adventure, education, and raw natural beauty.

Get ready for an unforgettable journey across ancient ice. Book your Sólheimajökull glacier hike today and experience Iceland’s frozen wilderness up close!
